Thank you for posting this arrangement that was used in "The Cotton Club"! I have the sound track from the movie and in my opinion, the Ellington songs used in this film are among the most absolutely authentic sounding of any period film. Even the style of clarinet used here, and the "coconut shell" percussion used near the end are spot on--brilliant work!
Yeah this band from the movie was killing! Very hard to find sound track...
